Study Notes

Health and Wellness Defined

Physical fitness is a measurable state impacting health and wellness, encompassing cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular fitness, flexibility, and body composition.
Movement is the foundation of physical fitness, crucial for activity and wellness.
Physical activity is any skeletal muscle movement expending energy; exercise is planned, structured, repetitive movement improving fitness.
Sedentary behavior is linked to increased risk of mortality, CVD, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers.

Physical Literacy (PL)

Physical literacy encompasses skills, knowledge, and behaviors for active living.
Four inter-related components of PL are: confidence, knowledge, motivation, and motor competence.
PL is a precursor to lifelong physical activity; progression or regression depends on activity levels and experience.
Doc Wied's plan emphasizes biomotor abilities (speed, strength, flexibility, endurance, coordination, balance) across various movement planes (frontal, sagittal, transverse). Multi-planar movement is common.

Movement Continuum

The continuum illustrates the progression from sedentary lifestyle to dedicated exercise, impacting physical literacy and wellness.
The continuum highlights the importance of regular physical activity for optimal well-being.

Training Principles

Training Effect/Adaptation: The body adapts to increasing exercise demands, improving movement capacity and fitness.
Specificity: Specific exercises improve specific fitness components (SAID principle).
Progressive Overload: Increasing training load (frequency, intensity, time) drives adaptations and improves fitness. Increasing repetitions alters goals to increase intensity.
Reversibility (Detraining): Fitness improvements are reversed when training ceases or significantly decreases.
Individual Differences: Genetic factors influence fitness improvement potential. Training age influences adaptation rates. Essential factors include nutrition, recovery, sleep, and supplements.

Exercise Technique Fundamentals

Common exercise grips include pronated, supinated, neutral, alternate, hook, closed, and open grips.
Core rigidity is crucial for proper posture (bracing and hollowing).
Joint centralization and neutral spine alignment are important, with the avoidance of posture problems like "tech neck" and "iPosture."

Exercise Program Design

Obtaining medical clearance is important.
Setting SMART goals (specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, timely, and self-determined) guides program creation.
Steps for effective training plan creation involve needs analysis, exercise selection, frequency, order, load/reps, volume, and recovery.
Safety, gradual progression (beginning, progress, maintenance phases, focusing on increasing duration and frequency before intensity), movement preparation (warm-up/cool-down), rest, varied activities, balanced diet, and progress tracking are key aspects of a balanced program.

Muscle mass, power, strength, mobility, and VO2 max decline with age, requiring adaptation of training plans.
